Are Women More Easily Deceived?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 4, 2009
How many times have we heard that women are more easily deceived than men? In overt and also subtle ways, some Christians seem to believe that women are more gullible, more easily deceived, less rational, and more emotional than men (and have been since creation).

Destructive Authority
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | February 25, 2009
Rather than using the most common Greek terms for authority or oversight, like exuosia or proistemo, Paul uses the term authentein—a term that would have caught the attention of first century readers! Why? What does this word mean?
Joint Heirs of Christ's Kingdom
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | February 18, 2009
In the recent Baptist News, Dr. Ken Massey, a Baptist pastor from North Carolina, notes the radical transformation at a Christian school deeply steeped in cultural prejudice.

The Effect of Pornography on Women and Girls
By: JL P | February 18, 2009
Pornography not only causes men to view women and girls as sex objects, it causes women and girls to look at themselves as sex objects. What can we as Christians do to undo the lessons pornography teaches women and girls, and to show them how Jesus wants them to be viewed ?
Faithfulness
By: Martine Extermann | February 11, 2009
Have you noticed how frequently God’s faithfulness and unfailing love are extolled in the psalms? Even though the psalmists were sometimes in dire straits, they consistently proclaimed God’s faithfulness. Sometimes, this is done in praise songs, amid other joyous claims. Other times, it is done in the middle of struggles, as a shout [...]
Daily Faithfulness
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | February 11, 2009
When I first became president of CBE, a well-known evangelical wrote to encourage me as a trusted friend. He reminded me that though the commitment to oversee CBE might seem daunting, all God expects of me is my daily faithfulness. His words have been a source of comfort over the years, for when our daily [...]
Every Glass Ceiling is Broken?
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | February 10, 2009
In a recent ABC special, actor Will Smith is quoted as saying, “If the leader of the free world is African American, then every glass ceiling is broken.” I agree that the inauguration of Barack Obama marks a remarkable moment in US history, but I don’t agree that ‘every’ glass ceiling is broken. It [...]

An Egalitarian 1st Century Church
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | February 4, 2009
Have you ever noticed how the church in the first century was far more egalitarian (both with respect to class, gender, and ethnicity) than many evangelical churches are today? Isn’t this astonishing! Just look at the list of believers Paul celebrates as his colleagues in bringing the good news of Jesus to the world [...]
